Established in Silicon Valley in 1987 as a mechanical, electrical, and technology design engineering firm, AlfaTech has grown into a multi-disciplinary consulting force with offices across California and beyond — spanning the US coast to coast and reaching internationally into Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. Through the Vela Tech company portfolio, backed by our German parent company, we extend our reach globally without losing the client-first focus that has defined us for over three decades. Our solid reputation is built on enduring client relationships, service excellence, and a relentless drive to deliver maximum energy performance at every design phase.

At the heart of AlfaTech is a team that embodies authenticity, ethics, dynamism, and expertise. We are engineers, designers, lighting artists, sustainability advocates, and technology integrators who bring cohesive, collaborative energy to every project. Our culture is the heartbeat of the organization — one where fresh ideas meet deep technical knowledge, and where doing the right thing for the client and the planet is never negotiable. We consistently meet and surpass our clients' current needs while ensuring they are aligned to successfully evolve for the future.

We provide the most innovative, sustainable, forward-thinking, cost-effective mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection engineering, architectural lighting, and technology designs. Our services span MEP engineering, commissioning and energy solutions, sustainability consulting, technology design (AV, security, low voltage, smart buildings), architectural lighting, and full project delivery — from master planning through construction administration. Whether designing a biotech lab, a corporate campus, a transportation hub, or a data center, we bring integrated expertise that makes buildings thrive.

Our mission is to deliver exceptional service across all facets of our work through comprehensive design, design-assist, and design/build project delivery services. Each AlfaTech project is driven to achieve maximum energy performance, resource conservation, and pollution reduction at all design phases — because we believe the built environment should serve people and the planet in equal measure.

Authentic, ethical, smart, dynamic, energized, committed, inventive, compassionate, expert, and loyal — these aren't just words at AlfaTech. They are the characteristics that define every member of our team and shape the culture that drives everything we do. We believe listening first leads to better solutions, and that pushing outside the typical paradigm is what sets the industry pace.

Our biggest differentiator has always been our methodology: we listen first, then deliver solutions that live outside the typical paradigm and set the industry pace for successful invention. Cohesive design teams, a commitment to sustainability, and a culture of collaboration make us a leader in our field. With five California locations, additional US offices, and an international footprint across Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, we offer the global reach of a large firm with the focused attention of a dedicated partner. Our growth through organic expansion, mergers, and strategic acquisitions means our clients benefit from continuously deepening expertise.

AlfaTech's Sustainability Studio provides sustainable design solutions prioritizing energy, water, and air quality. Our team combines deep MEP engineering expertise with digital skills and a passion for environmental outcomes. From LEED and WELL certifications to net-zero energy budgeting, energy modeling, and San Francisco's first campus-scale alternate water system — which cut potable water use by up to 63% through onsite greywater and rainwater reuse — we embed sustainability into every phase of design.

We are committed to contributing to the betterment of the communities we serve. AlfaTech encourages its employees to engage with causes they are passionate about, utilizing our expertise to maximize value in projects of all sizes.

At AlfaTech, we champion equality, diversity, and inclusion. We believe that brilliant and rigorous creative work draws strength from a range of human ideas, viewpoints, and experiences. Our daily endeavors facilitate the development of a diverse array of skills and experiences among our team members.
